Book Synopsis Lessons from Mount Kilimanjaro by : Amy Stambach
Download or read book Lessons from Mount Kilimanjaro written by Amy Stambach and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-21 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sambach brings together an ethnograhic study of a school and community in East Africa. Stambach focuses on the role school plays in the development of the children's identity and relationships to their parents and community, as well as in the development of the region. At issue here are the competing influences of Western modernity and the cultural traditions of East Africa-ideas about gender roles, sexuality, identity, and family and communal obligations are all at stake. Stambach looks at the controversial practice of female circumcision in the context of school and community teachings about girls' bodies and examines cultural signifiers like music, clothing and food to discuss the tensions in the region.
